sbaldrick posted:nothing blocked at all. I can't find anything that's conflicting with it either. Why does Opera get worse some times? It's terrible for me right now. I already had inline frames enabled, but the Gmail load problem resolved itself. Except that now it's incredibly slow and drops connection all the time (it just took me 7 tries to attach a 13kB file to an email). Embedded videos take a good couple minutes to load if they do at all and loading any page is slow. And occasionally just trying to scroll causes Opera to freeze for a couple minutes.

sbaldrick posted:enabling inline frames did fix the load problem which is good. I have an odd issue with youtube, where if I'm on a channel page, and change the video, the video is invisible until i either scroll down and back up or switch back and forth between tabs. Not a big deal, but kind of annoying. Also does anyone know if it's possible to block Viddler and Livestream video ads with the Opera adblocker?

Ok, I am having an insane problem. I was trying to load an article from smashingmagazine.com, but when I opened it up, it was clearly using the wrong encoding - nonsense characters and nothing else. It opens fine in Chrome, and other articles on that site initially opened without an issue, but now I can't load anything from that site at all. I've cleared out the cookies for that site, the cache, the history, changed the encoding manually, etc. etc. - no luck. Here's where it gets stupid: once this happened on my desktop (Win7 X64, 10.10) it started to happen for the same site on my laptop (Vista x86, 10.53) as well. I have Opera Link turned on, so I assume the problem is something that's getting synced, but I can't tell what the hell that is. Any suggestions? Edit: both installs of Opera have randomly crashed, once each, since I posted this. The crash logs were uninformative, so I'm no closer to understanding what's going on.

Probably, if you ran an inflate algorithm on the data in that address you'd get sensible output. If it works with other browsers, looks like smashingmagazine.com does some browser sniffing that cuases it to return a compressed data stream but for some reason it's not marked as such in the headers.

As much as I love Opera, it is really developing Linuxists. It shouldn't be that hard to get pages to load and render right. At some point if everyone else can render the page then your browser (Opera) is the problem.

At some point if everyone else can render the page then your browser (Opera) is the problem. I've been using Opera since version 5 or so, and this is the first time in a very long while that a page has just refused to load anything at all. I've seen a few things that didn't render right in 10.10 recently, but 10.5x is even better at compatibility, and it's been at least 2 major versions since I've had to run a backup browser. Besides, I spend far too much time on the internet and I've only ever seen this happen with an actual site once (I've had the same result from Opera deciding it knows how to parse .wmv files for some reason, but that went away around 9.6), so it's not like this is an epidemic. Also, most pages have conditional style sheets for different browsers so that things do in fact render right in IE 6, 7, 7 compatibility mode, 8, 8 compatibility, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc. People don't do those for Opera, so Opera ASA has to do the legwork to make things look right, and nowadays they consistently succeed at that. Also also: It is actually hard to get pages to load and render correctly, especially when they come in 4-6 different versions specific to the rendering quirks of individual browsers and yours isn't one of them. This is why Opera has always had trouble with compatibility, and why it was hard to use as a primary browser before about 9.5. We'd have more than 4-5 robust rendering engines floating around if they were simple to make, and if new ones didn't have to adapt to the way things are rather than dictate how pages should be made. tl;dr: You would have been right in 2008, now a problem like this is a surprising thing and Opera's compatibility is very good. Also, Smashing Magazine loads fine today, so I guess it was on their end. Edit: yeah, ok, wall of  doesn't help the Linux comparisons, but the attitude's different - nobody here is demanding that everything be changed to work with Opera because that's so rarely necessary anymore.

It's also worth noting that a lot of the problems that people have in this thread turn out to be due to odd settings and userjs and other miscellaneous whatnot. In other words, the sort of people who use Opera are the same sort who tinker with things and sometimes break them on their own. Linuxy people, but not necessarily in the bad way.

Just a check: How many of you were in Opera alpha/beta and didn't wipe your data completely instead of merely upgrading to the final versions? That might very well be it. I have a couple of problems, but I am waiting until I get a chance to sync and merge my bookmarks properly.

Isn't that kind of the programmer's job to make the upgrades work? Most people use browsers daily. Having to set everything up again takes forever, and does not take any more or less time than just learning how to use a different browser that already works right. Opera makes money from people using their browser. Making it work so that people don't stop using it is in their best interests. I am still on a version that is 10 months old because they have not fixed a problem with one of the most common plugins on the internet (Quicktime controls have not worked right in any of the 10.x release on Mac). I get that Opera was in a rush to get 10.50 out there for the 'choose your browser' Windows thing, but getting a version that causes problems out just encourages people to not use their product. Those who vote and try it out are not even going to give it a second chance if it fails to work right. Making the upgrades work is their job. The people reading this thread are the hard core fanbase. If people here (big time Opera fans all) are frustrated and talking about leaving it behind....

If you're upgrading from the alpha/beta, which specifically say "Don't use as your main browser, don't get attached", then it's your own fault if it breaks something, not the dev's. If you decide to install a beta operating system on your computer, it's not Microsoft/Apple's job to account for fuckups that happen because you ignored the advice and tried to upgrade it.

And look here come the defenders who won't admit anything is wrong. Even Opera itself will admit that it has hang time problems with some pages. But it seems to be getting worse at times gone on. No other browser has these issues to the extent Opera has. I switch back and forth like mad mostly because I can never find the perfect one. I like the way Opera looks and feels, but as a browser it has issues. Which won't be fixed if no one admits they exist.

When using Restore to make a tab into a floating window within the main Opera window, the initial size of the window is normally the size of the last floating window closed or something like that. However, sometimes it will get stuck and permanently Restore to one size from then on, usually a really unhelpful size too: At the moment I have to resize every drat window from a postage stamp to a usable size. Anyone know if there's something specific that will clear the stored window size? Normally it can be cleared up by cascading/tiling windows and then carrying on, but sometimes it sticks more permanently. I'd rather not delete everything, since I only use this browsing method for very specific things and it's not worth losing all my general browsing settings for it. Getting a new major revision has fixed it in the past, any ideas what normally gets cleared by those?

kapalama posted:Since everything else seems to be customizable, maybe this is too: You can definitely alter the menus although it can be a bit of an effort if you're not totally sure about what you want to do. But at it's base, every menu can be altered. I believe this is still valid for all the 10.x stuff (I'm not 100% about the version but that doesn't really matter). The ini file you're after is the menu.ini. Go to Preferences->Advanced->Toolbars and highlight "Opera Standard" under Menu Setup and click Duplicate. This will create the basic alternate ini file in the D & S/User Name/Application Data/Opera folder. Creating a second ini file makes sure it's nondestructive and you can switch on the fly from the default menus and your custom menus like this. Open your ini file in Notepad and then find the menu you want to change. This can be a bit difficult because the name of the menu might not be what you think it is. What I find easies is to look for a menu entry that seems relevant to that menu and see how many times it occurs in menu.ini to narrow it down. At that point it becomes about pruning down those options you don't want anymore. If it helps, I believe the basic right click menu you get for right clicking a web page is [Document Popup Menu]. Play around a little and you should be able to get it how you like. For what it's worth, removing entries is much easier than creating brand new entries so you shouldn't have much difficulty. http://operawiki.info/EditingINIFiles Edit: My folder stuff is based on Windows so it'll be different for your Mac.

Maybe this was always a problem but I never noticed this before... does the IRC client start to choke once a room has more than a few thousand lines? The process starts to use ridiculous amounts of CPU time and basically makes the browser unusable by the time there are around 5k lines, and it's already noticeable from around 1-2k. More importantly though, is there a way to print only the selection on a page while preserving the formatting, like IE does (without messing with custom stylesheets every time, that is)? Doing this in Opera results in just the plain text being printed, without even paragraph breaks or any other style information.
